Boffins' beam forming kit opens the door to more realistic holograms

MIT's hardware speeds up light manipulation by a factor of 10
Brandon Vigliarolo

A research team led by MIT has developed a novel piece of kit that can drastically increase the speed and capability of optical beam forming technology and that's easy to produce at scale.

If commercialized, the team's new type of spatial light modulator (SLM) could open the way to super-fast LiDAR imaging for autonomous vehicles, improved medical scanners and even developing free-standing 3D holograms akin to those from Star Wars. Admittedly we'll be waiting on that last one for a while.
